How the sweet Nairobi CBD night life died painfully

When Mojo’s was shut last year the hope among ‘town’ CBD revellers, the last of a dying breed, was that it was being renovated.

Last Saturday, a video of construction workers demolishing the first floor of a building on Banda Street, reducing the closed club Mojo’s to rubble, went viral. When Mojo’s was shut last year, like almost all night clubs in the country, thanks to a curfew brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, the hope among ‘town’ CBD revellers, the last of a dying breed, was that it was being renovated. But following the disappearance of its next-door neighbour Tribeka (once Rezorus), and now the demolition of Mojo’s, the last of the cool CBD clubs is gone. And Nairobi can be said to have almost nothing left of its night life.
